Love in the Middle Ages was both a private experience and a public contest whose players were Social Status, Religious Obligation and Sexual Desire. We investigate the development of this contest in its classical period by concentrating primarily on the literature of French-speaking countries in the 12th and 13th centuries. In addition to primary-source readings (in translation), we consider the perspectives of cultural historians such as Marc Bloch and Georges Duby and of poststructuralist critical theorists such as Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva.
